Tottenham Hotspur have announced plans to build a stunning new environmental centre at their Hotspur Way training complex.

The club have submitted the plans for the THFC Environmental Centre and Nature Reserve to the London Borough of Enfield, which will sit alongside the world-class training centre.

With Tottenham's new £800m stadium being built alongside White Hart Lane, the club is clearly putting plenty of efforts and finance into its future.

The new facility at Hotspur Way would include a purpose-built education facility with classrooms and a nature reserve with boardwalks, wildflower walks and a meadow, and ponds for outdoor-based learning alongside a top level multi-use sports pitch.

The nature reserve would be managed by the nearby Capel Manor College, who would offer a dedicated education programme that will be designed and delivered in consultation with teachers from Enfield and linked to the National Curriculum.

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has spearheaded the club's improvements off the pitch

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “The location of the club’s Training Centre has provided us with an unrivalled and unique opportunity to deliver something truly outstanding for the young people of Enfield.

“Through our section 106 commitments in Enfield we have already been able to engage and enhance the lives of thousands of young people from across the Borough. This facility represents a sustainable long-term investment into the next generation and will ensure schoolchildren from across the area will be able to study and enjoy nature and the countryside right in the area in which they live."

Dr Steve Dowbiggin OBE, Principal of Capel Manor, added: “Capel Manor College is delighted to play a role in the proposed development of this unique and high quality scheme.

"It would further enhance another element of the historic Forty Hall estate and through the considerable environmental improvements to Dickenson’s Trough Meadow will provide young people and the community of Enfield with an opportunity to see and experience nature conservation at its best."

The planning proposals have already received widespread support from schools across the Borough with more than 30 headteachers having co-written to the council outlining the opportunity presented by this facility.
